Description
Clopidogrel belongs to the class of drugs called antiplatelet drugs.
This class of medications that reduce the ability of platelets (specialized blood cells) to stick together, which occurs normally as part of the blood-clotting process.
Antiplatelet drugs are used to prevent the formation of blood clots in arteries, when anticoagulants are ineffective.

Selectively and irreversibly inhibits ADP-induced platelet aggregation by inhibiting the binding of ADP to its receptors on platelets, thereby affecting ADP-dependent activation of the glycoprotein IIb / IIIa complex, the major site of platelet-fibrinogen binding.
